New guy in northern WI
Hey everyone. I've got a 1969 Camaro indy pace car tht i'm trying to build into a pro-touring car. The big problem is that i don't want to destroy the value of the car so nothing can be permanent.
Also, because i live in WI where the roads are as rough as the Oregon Trail, my car can't ride too rough.
Kind of a tall order, i know. So far i have stock 5 leaf rear springs and a Steeroids rack and pinion setup awaiting install. If anyone has any suggestions... i'm all ears!
Thanks, Jamie
PS, heres the last car i built;

We used to come over to Rhinelander to party when we were at my buddy's lake place by Crandon. This is 20+ years ago.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
